What are the Federal Laws regarding being the last person to look at a piece of equipment while holding an EPA Universal license when the equipment was faulty and am I obligated to have the piece of equipment repaired or replaced?

The unit has to be over 50 tons and leak at least half the refrigerant out in a year for you to have to find and fix the leak. I think that's what the law states. In residential it's up to the owner to decide if they want to gas it up or find and fix the leak.

I found a 240V steam table that was wired wth 10AWG and spliced into 12AWG into a 20A breaker. The breaker was drawing 17.9 Amps and the box at the steamtable was crispy critters. I know that since I was the last person to look at the equipment, I am legally responsible so I called in a licensed electrician to effect repairs. What is the federal statute and where can I find it?
